Final answer:

The IUPAC name for CH₃OCH₂CH₃ is ethoxyethane. Isomers with a five-carbon chain and three methyl groups include 2,2,3-trimethylbutane, among others. For alkyne isomers of C4H6, 1-butyne and 2-butyne are potential IUPAC names.

Step-by-step explanation:

The IUPAC name for the compound with the molecular formula CH₃OCH₂CH₃ is ethoxyethane. This compound is also commonly known as diethyl ether and is comprised of an ethoxy group (CH₃CH₂O-) attached to an ethane (CH₃CH₂-) chain.

For the other part of the question, I would need the correct structure or more precise indication of the compound in question to provide the correct IUPAC names for the isomers containing a five-carbon chain with three methyl substituents. However, one example would be 2,2,3-trimethylbutane.

The IUPAC names for alkyne isomers of C4H6 could include 1-butyne and 2-butyne, depending on the position of the triple bond within the carbon chain.

Answer:

2,2,3-trimethyl-pentane

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest chain is 5 carbons so the parent chain is a pentane. There are two methyl groups coming off the second carbon in the chain and 1 methyl group coming off the 3rd carbon in the chain. In total there are 3 methyl groups, hence we get 2,2,3-trimethyl-pentane.
